MedWHOLE Academy Programme
Summer School
Free holiday lessons every August in Gosa and Kunyami, running since 2021.
Overview
What it is
Summer School runs Monday to Thursday, from nine until noon, through the whole of August. Every morning covers mathematics, English and reading, together with a memory verse.
From the second week the Skill Lab opens, teaching bead making, soap making, stool making and tote bags, so that children leave having made something as well as learned something.
The final week is given over to examinations, a memory verse competition, career and health talks, and a closing party.
